Fighting Weeds and Fixing Overgrazed Pasture 

Wow. I've watched this channel grow. C'mon folks, lets get Billy up to 100,000 subcribers. He provides A LOT of valuable information. We're gonna need it.

I'm using a mix of Dutch white clover, vernal alfalfa and bulldog alfalfa for a general purpose ground cover, avoid most grasses unless I really want a grass dominated system - it has its places - I like the added dill (hoverfly food!) radishes, and I could see doing a sugar beet in the mix, too - sugars in the soil for bacteria to get busy on? SUPERCHARGE your soil. It 'beets' spreading horticultural molasses for cost, and you get some aeration as well. We have been adding sunflower and safflower in places that could use something in the herbaceous layer. Amaranth for fixing phosphorous (not that we suffer a lack of wild chenopodium) and dock, because we have it, its free, and makes a great mess of greens when I'm hungry. Fantastic for people that suffer loss of blood and calcium depletion on a regular basis (yes, ladies, I mean you) and not bad for us gents, either because we go get cut and break bones, seemingly for the fun of it sometimes 😉 There is no reason NOT to plant useful things as ground cover: Mother Nature is going to plant something, if you don't.

Thanks for sharing another very informative video my friends. We’ve got some of our property that’s wooded and we are thinking about turning it into our Silvopasture area! Ben & Denise seen it when they were here and thought it would be a great area for it. We’ve ordered seeds from that same company before as well. Thanks for sharing. 🙌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👍🏻😊😊

Another way to seed those areas is to bale graze your ruminants in those areas like Greg Judy does.

Thank you for your time and knowledge my friend ✌️

Love the “Officer Tatum” shirt. You are the coolest guy Billy! Former IBEW #446/USN vet/ beginning Arkansas permaculture PIMP here. I am in the process of clearing a 1.5 acre tract of land on my property for a sheep pasture. I appreciate the video.

Billy, I love you!! This is not the first time I have had a problem or question that you address exactly when I need it! 🎯

Daikon = moola paratha drowned in salted whipped butter, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you 💕

Thanks again Brotha for the video.Praying for you all.

MILKBOY LOVES HIS DADDY. AND LOVE YOUR SHIRT.

Great to get those seeds in before he rains...😊 I’m feeling for the UPS Guy, he needs to bring snacks😊

Good timing Billy. Im battling Cogon grass and ill do something similar to your plan.

Have a good one Billy. Hope to see ya .Give hugs to Michelle be safe God's blessings ❤️🙏

Here, debris laying around is a sign of progress:)

Love the shirt. Tatum is good

Great information on that silver grass!

Just bought the PBE970 from Peaceful Valley. Thanks for the info!

That dog is so cute!! Just wants to be petted..❤

Thank you Billy! Great info 🤗❤️

If you get a lot of rain it may wash all the seeds down the hill

I just watched the first Silvopasture vid, and then this popped up lol

I don't think that any seed is cheap these days! I've had good luck sowing a mix of white and crimson clover with tall Fescue to use between the rows in my elderberry fields. The clover fixes nitrogen so I can reduce (maybe eliminate) the amount of organic fertilizer I use. The Fescue is supposed to help hold the soil together, but I have trouble getting it to catch. I'm in North Carolina, which can be a tough place to get grass to grow well. I think the Summer gets a little too warm for the Fescue to really thrive, and the Winter gets too cold for a hot weather grass like Bermuda to thrive. My clover does very well, though, which is what I'm really after. Take care and God Bless.

Looking good. We unfortunately ended up doing the same where some areas got kinda over grazed. I'm personally in the process of cleaning out some cedar groves, is there a reason you were pulling the trees out? I'm personally looking at laying them on contour to help as biomass traps because a lot of my pastures is a similar grade to where you are or a bit steeper in some areas.

Good ideeas! Thank you.

I love your phrases and analogies. Hard as woodpecker lips 😂 Of course the Roman's were pretty dastardly dudes and deserved for the more worthy Huns and Visigoths to kick their _sses. I'd say that that garbage grass is more akin to the Roman's and the good mix you just sowed is more like the Huns putting up a good fight against the evil taxing Roman's. That would make you Attilla!!!

@Perma....do you guys do any controlled burns with replacement to prairies? I was watching.....arghh, can't remember the channel name, but it looks kinda cool, taking out the invasive.

Great T shirt.

Excellent! I love the mix you used. Peaceful Valley is a good resource.

Good luck keeping the weeds out

Again a kind of key technique of which I didn´t hear. Now I know.

Hi we like what your doing we are also doing natural methods of composting wish to connect with you guys we are disciples of Tao 🥰

How do you keep squirrels from getting the seeds? I'm down here in Columbia, SC and tried a seed blend last year and it largely failed due to those critters.

Hey I just started watching your channel. What part of the country is your homestead. I’m from the Piedmont of SC. Wondering if what you are planting will work here.

Why is it that everything invasive is Chinese?? 😮

How do you get rid of greenbriar?

Does that pasture mix work for horses or do I need to do some research?

I was looking for daikon radish seed at my local farm store and they told me there is a shortage.

So not even goats will the silver grass? I thought they were supposed to be like living lawn mowers. Willing to eat lots of stuff.
